The series, which will launch in March, was previously teased with the word "Snikt".

"This is the series that gets into what makes James Logan tick, that shows him being, as he puts it, 'a regular guy', interacting with civilian friends of his in New York City," Cornell told Marvel.com.

"The most amazing thing about James is that he's been alive so long, gone through so many extraordinary things, is such a strange being, but holds on - very hard - to being a guy who likes to hang out in bars with good company, who can run a school, who's a decent, civilised man. Most of the time.

"No vampire alienation and boredom for him. He's a man of the people. I'm going to poke that and see what happens."

The series will launch with a tale that puts James 'Logan' Howlett up against a new, seemingly unbeatable foe.

The title will run alongside Frank Cho's Savage Wolverine, which will debut in January.
